Bella's POV

I woke up early at six I felt I needed to meditate then I'll go for a walk around the garden when I say walk in garden bare in mind it's massive at least four football fields could fit inside it. Luckily today Blake's sleeping on his side with his back facing me. So I get up select my outfit. My swede wool lined jacket, my fluffy white and beige Pom Pom snood warm turtle neck purple jumper underneath my black thermal leggings and beige UGG boots. I bring the outfit into the bathroom use the toilet wash my hands, brush my teeth then take a warm shower. I love to look at snow but like I said before I'm not a warm person or a werewolf so pile on the layers.
After I'm dried I pin my hair to the side, I never like straightening my hair it's not curly curly but naturally wavy so I leave it be. I put on some light make some blush, glittery eye shadow, eyeliner mascara. I put some chapstick on my lips to protect them against the cold. I'll put my jacket on when I leave.
I grab some cereal and make myself some coffee whilst I write Blake a note saying I'm just going for a walk around the garden if he needs me. I put my bowl and mug in the dishwasher and make my way to the parlour and light the fire.
After my soothing session I made sure to avoid checking on Tina I don't need to see her sex life thanks, although I hope she's ok and not in too much pain but I'm staying out of it now. I walk down the stairs and close the door behind me. I turn right and head around to the back of the house, towards the garden the air is Baltic no birds chirping hah sensible birds what was I thinking going for a walk I still feel no warmer.
It is a magical view though I stand a meter from the pond that's now completely frozen over I watch as a duck flies down and tries to land but slides I levitate him in the air so he doesn't hurt himself and pull him into my hands stroking his head. "Ok buddy try somewhere else huh you can't swim here." I unwrap my hands a little and turn left away from the pond and he flew off in that direction. Well at least I can still help the... "AAAHHH" I scream as something tumbles me to the ground aw seriously no way no one could see me standing there.
I turn on my back and glimpse at a pissed off Nathan before I'm punched hard on the nose hearing it crack I loudly curse him trying to crack my nose that's now bleeding back in place. What is his problem shouldn't he still be with Tina she's still on her heat jerk. "WHA.." "WHY'D YOU INTERFERE WITH Tina's heat? WE ARE WEREWOLVES BITCH. Wether you are Blake's mate or not you need to keep your witchy hands away from my mate. Now I can't have pups with Tina or Raquel because of you. WHO THE BLEEDING HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" As I tried to get up to explain he punched my stomach. He stood up and I wheezed out a cough that hurt painfully what the fuck. Tina asked for my help what a dick and they call him a Beta. He continued to yell at me and kick my ribs. I don't want to kill him but I'm not a werewolf I need him to stop or I'll never heal. "ENOUGH!" I put my hand to use my magic to blast him away from me as I squeak out my barrier spell to protect me from more abuse.
I see him fly away from me hitting a tree hard as the tree cracks but doesn't collapse on him good. Blake comes out running seeing my busted self and Nathan and goes to attack Nathan. Come on grow up guys.

Blake's POV

I wake up and start to panic Bella's gone did she hate me did I do something wrong in a panic I throw on my T-shirt and PJ bottoms and call for her around the house, I make it to the kitchen and spot a sticky note on the counter. Oh phew she didn't leave me she's in the garden I put four slices of toast in the toaster, eat two bowls of cereal as I'm about to remove the toast, I hear a scream someone's hurting mate move it. I turn off the toaster and run to the garden what I see is disgusting I see my mate helpless on the ground blood coming out of her nose and is hunched over in the foetal position as she magically blasts Nathan away from her now I'm pissed what gave him any right to harm a female let alone my mate who's not a she-wolf and unable to protect herself against a wolfs fury. Connor and Dylan two of my trusted warriors Connor knows Bella is my mate and as I just linked Dylan now knows I send Dylan to check on Bella, whilst I kill my Beta.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK RETARD, YOU BEAT MY MATE. WHY WOULD YOU?" I don't let him answer I release all my anger on him he fights me back but you messed with the wrong Alpha wacko. Alpha, Luna wishes for you to stop so she can talk to the Beta. "Not happening Dylan he's no Beta to me." I send through our link. He's suppose to be with his mate she's still on heat but he left her to fight with my mate fucking prick I dodge his roundhouse kick by back flipping before flipping and turning myself in the air to be behind his back. I punch him hard in the back of his head saying as my mate deserves to kill him I'll leave him alive. He stumbles from my blow to his head. "CONNOR, DYLAN CUFF HIM NOW! Before I kill him." They cuff him with silver. Nathan hisses and falls to his knees. "Stay with him both of you." "Yes Alpha." They say in unison, as I run to Bella who is still lying in the foetal position. DOC GET TO MY BACKYARD NOW! YOUR LUNA NEEDS YOUR HELP.

Bella's POV

Nathan was handcuffed with silver, what about Tina she needs him now. I cough up blood this is so not my day anymore I feel a much needed soothing buzz and know it's Blake even though I can't see very well anymore through my busted left eye. He's in his pj bottoms and black T-shirt so handsome. I wheeze in pain as I try and fail miserably to sit up. "Shh baby stay down you could damage yourself more. What the FUCK HAPPENED!" I flinched away in fear of his tone he noticed and his expression softened as he delicately pulled my busted body into him. "Can you bring Nathan closer please he needs to actually listen to my side rather than just beat me without hearing it." Blake shook his head he was adamant about keeping Nathan over at the other end of the garden. "Please I don't have to talk to him I can show him and everyone what happened, he's hurt because I took away the chance for him to conceive an heir with Tina yesterday when she begun her heat." Dylan and Connor gasped and looked horrified at me. Great now people hate me here too. Blake doesn't show the same hatred for me at least that's something.
Blake told Connor and Dylan to bring him closer. "Now before you say another word to me Nathan you will see what really happened and why I did what I did." Poleese locsnar kalim teparise. Flashback last night. It played like a movie everyone saw what Tina asked me to do for her. Me warning her her mate won't be so happy with this discussion, but that Tina wasn't ready to be a mum yet. Me warning her the potion will only last a week after that if she got pregnant after I wouldn't be able to do anything. Telling her it will stop unmated males from mating with her etc...
"So you see now. I only ever tried to help my best friend she was warned you mightn't like her choice but Tina decided that was what she wanted. One more thing Nathan." I looked at him in disappointment. "I would do it again for Tina and Raquel, I would do it for her because she's family to me. Besides my mother and grandmother who are no longer here Tina has always been there for me, as I will always be there for her. So next time you wish to beat someone to a pulp remember to get both sides of the story first before bashing out punishment, UNDERSTAND." My body shook I was so pissed off but I knew I could fix the pain and broken bones, like it never happened. Nathan looked at the ground guiltily. That was enough for him to earn my forgiveness. "What's done is done Blake I forgive him I can heal myself once I get to my lair Tina still needs him urgently. The longer he's away from her the closer she is to agony so let him go back to her. I don't want my sister to die from this heat." Blake didn't like to just let him go after he attacked me without reason. "You are on house arrest as soon as your mate is finished her heat you will be locked up in the cells for a month. My mate may have forgiven you so quickly I however won't be so kind. You may even lose your Beta title I hope this attack was worth it for you. Your lucky I don't execute you, or exile you making you a rogue you BASTARD!" Blake left Dylan to unlock his cuffs and send Nathan back to his mate. The doc came, Blake looked at me. "I can heal myself I won't be requiring the doctor when I'm sure he has other matters to attend to." Blake picked me up bridal style I groaned in pain from the movement. "I'm so sorry angel, I failed to protect you." He dismissed the doctor. No how could he fail me. "You didn't know Nathan was gonna hurt me so you haven't failed me." He smirked in exasperation sarcastically saying SSUUURRRREEE. I kissed his cheek my head thumping and exhausted I lay my head on his shoulder as he carried me home into my lair. He set me on the shays-long and asked me for everything I needed to heal myself.

After I was all healed it was like it never happened I refuse to not move on, this is my home my new family I will always be kind when I need to and show forgiveness when it's required. Even though technically I'm not Nathan's Luna yet it's what a decent Luna would do.
